chrome.networking.onc

Description

The chrome.networking.onc API is used for configuring network connections (Cellular, Ethernet, VPN or WiFi). This API is available in auto-launched Chrome OS kiosk sessions.

Network connection configurations are specified following Open Network Configuration (ONC) specification.

NOTE: Most dictionary properties and enum values use UpperCamelCase to match the ONC specification instead of the JavaScript lowerCamelCase convention.

Promise 
chrome.networking.onc.getState(
  networkGuid: string,
  callback?: function,
): Promise<NetworkStateProperties>

Gets the cached read-only properties of the network with id networkGuid. This is meant to be a higher performance function than getProperties, which requires a round trip to query the networking subsystem. The following properties are returned for all networks: GUID, Type, Name, WiFi.Security. Additional properties are provided for visible networks: ConnectionState, ErrorState, WiFi.SignalStrength, Cellular.NetworkTechnology, Cellular.ActivationState, Cellular.RoamingState.

Parameters

Returns

  • Chrome 125+

    Promises are only supported for Manifest V3 and later, other platforms need to use callbacks.

requestNetworkScan()

chrome.networking.onc.requestNetworkScan(
  networkType?: NetworkType,
): void

Requests that the networking subsystem scan for new networks and update the list returned by getVisibleNetworks. This is only a request: the network subsystem can choose to ignore it. If the list is updated, then the onNetworkListChanged event will be fired.

Parameters

  • networkType

    NetworkType optional

    Chrome 63+

    If provided, requests a scan specific to the type. For Cellular a mobile network scan will be requested if supported.

setProperties()

Promise 
chrome.networking.onc.setProperties(
  networkGuid: string,
  properties: NetworkConfigProperties,
  callback?: function,
): Promise<void>

Sets the properties of the network with id networkGuid. This is only valid for configured networks (Source != None). Unconfigured visible networks should use createNetwork instead. In kiosk sessions, calling this method on a shared network will fail.

Parameters

  • networkGuid

    string

    The GUID of the network to set properties for.

  • The properties to set.

  • callback

    function optional

    The callback parameter looks like: 

    () => void

Returns

  • Promise<void>

    Chrome 125+

    Promises are only supported for Manifest V3 and later, other platforms need to use callbacks.

startConnect()

Promise 
chrome.networking.onc.startConnect(
  networkGuid: string,
  callback?: function,
): Promise<void>

Starts a connection to the network with networkGuid.

Parameters

  • networkGuid

    string

    The GUID of the network to connect to.

  • callback

    function optional

    The callback parameter looks like: 

    () => void

Returns

  • Promise<void>

    Chrome 125+

    Promises are only supported for Manifest V3 and later, other platforms need to use callbacks.

startDisconnect()

Promise 
chrome.networking.onc.startDisconnect(
  networkGuid: string,
  callback?: function,
): Promise<void>

Starts a disconnect from the network with networkGuid.

Parameters

  • networkGuid

    string

    The GUID of the network to disconnect from.

  • callback

    function optional

    The callback parameter looks like: 

    () => void

Returns

  • Promise<void>

    Chrome 125+

    Promises are only supported for Manifest V3 and later, other platforms need to use callbacks.
